Embassy celebrates 110th Anniversary of Philippine Independence with the Filipino Community

Philippine Ambassador to Australia, H.E. Ernesto H. De Leon, today led the Filipino-Australian community in Canberra in commemorating the 110th Anniversary of the Declaration of Philippine Independence.

Braving the wintry Canberra morning, about 300 Filipinos and their Australian families joined Philippine Embassy personnel in opening the celebrations with a flag-raising ceremony. The maneuvers of the Philippine military students in Australia lent a somber air to the proceedings, while plaintive rondallas imbued the Philippine National Anthem with a distinct Filipiniana strain. Father Ben Macajes, a Filipino priest from a New South Wales parish, gave the invocation. First Secretary and Consul Uriel Norman G. Garibay read the official Independence Day message of Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alberto G. Romulo.
